I made the quinoa, spinach, roasted corn salad with candied peanuts from Viva Vegan (Yum!)

I'm making the portobello salad with chickpeas, avocado, red onion and I think it's a mustardy dressing from VCON tomorrow for later this week. I haven't tried this one before, but I love all the stuff in it so I figure it'll be full of win.

Pasta twice already this week. (Sat/Sun - I've been doing my groceries Saturday mornings, so I start my dinners for the week that day!) Soooo..-Mac'n'nooch with garlicky kale and tofu. -Italian Wonderpot-Korean Fusion Pizza (if I can find chickpea flour that's not in a huge bag so that I can make seitan for it.) It'll have kimchi, bulgogi from VEW with extra sauce for topping the pizza, tiny bits of pineapple, green onions, and whatever else sounds good. Maybe sesame spinach.-Banh Mi night! The tofu scramble version, also from VEW.

For snacks and treats, we're making chocolate chip cookies and chocolate-matcha-swirl bread. And lots of fruit and veggies too.

I'm late, but I just started meal planning so here's this week;

Sunday- Lettuce wrap burgers and a spinach strawberry salad with candied walnuts and fresh raspberry vinaigrette. Tried the smokey bean burger recipe from Thug Kitchen. It was good.Monday- Stir fry, with a sauce from FOK cookbook. YUM!Tuesday- Baked potato soup.Wednesday- $1 pasta night. Saw this idea on a blog as a money saving idea to just have spaghetti once a week with no sides. Costs less than $2 for noodles and sauce ingredients. I make sure to eat a huge salad for lunch. And if we have extra veg then I'll cook that to go with.Thursday- Snobby joes, potato salad and broccoli. Made homemade burger buns for them.Friday- Breakfast for dinner :)Saturday- Matt cooks!

And for breakfasts;Homemade banana almond granola (FOK) with fruit. And smoothies.

It's not Sunday, but I've been working all week and living on tea and toast, so I've just done the grocery shopping and tonight and tomorrow it's time to cook! Mainly things I can keep in the fridge and serve really quickly.

I made the Tofu Po Boys again because I had some of the breading left over. This time I added the called-for pickles and it's delish! Also having with Vegan Diner's horseradish potato salad, which is my favorite potato salad.

Making the black eyed pea stew from Vegan Diner and some brown rice. Also will serve with some of the coleslaw left over from the Po Boy makins.

Went grocery shopping earlier today and bought the fixins for:

Pasta Nicoise Salad (thanks to someone mentioning it from Vegan Planet, and I realized I've never tried this version) with marinated and grilled portabellos. I forgot to buy the salad greens to serve under but no biggie, though Nicoises usually feature some crunchy green lettuce so I might miss it.
